| Executive Summary Step 9: Monitoring and evaluation |
| Monitoring and evaluation are integral parts of each project that can be methodologically classified under the category of action research. |
- Monitoring can be generally defined as the continual observation of a system and its development according
to certain criteria.
- Evaluation is the structured interpretation of results according to the original objectives, respectively, the measurement of the degree of achievement of these objectives.
- In the terminology of quality management, monitoring is the determination of the status of an object (e.g., a system, a process, a product, a service or an activity), carried out at different stages or at different times. For the determination of the status, there can be a need to check, supervise or critically observe. In this sense, evaluation means the assessment made on achievement of the project objectives (ISO 9000, 2015).
